Call for papers
Under the theme “Rethinking transport - towards clean and inclusive mobility” the TRA2020 will focus on rethinking how research, development, and innovations can deliver what users and the planet are calling for. This transformation process that the transport sector is imperatively undergoing, concerns every single aspect of the mobility of passengers and goods. It starts from the way we book our journeys and goes all the way to the value proposition of transport infrastructures.
